Stellar
* Status: Main type of
candidate is X-ray binary; 2001, First evidence for rotating black holes; To
search for them, look for effects that can be attributed
to an unseen star with M > 2 MSun on
motion; 2008, The closest ones appear to be the microquasars GRO J1655-40 and
A0620-00.
* Candidates: Cygnus
X-1, the oldest candidate, first discovered during a rocket flight in 1965
[@ Cui et al ap/97-in];
LMC X-1 (similar characteristics to Cygnus X-1); LMC X-3 (more recent but more
convincing candidate, with mass
is probably around 10 MSun); SS
433 (complicated object, the case is not clear cut).

* Idea: Black holes with
masses in the range 30–300,000 solar masses.
* Status: 2002, They also seem to be common; 2004, They may form from
mergers of stars in a cluster.
